Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: The Beginning of Priesthood

Then let me show you the thunderous wrath of the great 'Earth Mother Gaia'!

One must know that the gods who have consistently held that position are not easy to deal with; power and strength inevitably breed willfulness.

Moreover, the great Gaia, who has lived for tens of millions of years, possesses the ability to overturn the world! For her to kill a god with no background is as simple as crushing a chicken.

Even her sons, Uranus, the God of the Sky, and Cronus, the God of Space, could not escape her schemes, let alone a mere Daemon!

So, if Mobius dares to covet the power of beauty, then Earth Mother Gaia will not hesitate to make him sleep forever in the depths of Tartarus, the Underworld.

After all, the power of love and beauty is the key to resurrecting the fifth primordial god, Eros...

Who knows what madness this Earth Mother Gaia will unleash if she loses the key to resurrection!

Ares, the God of War, looked at Mobius, who had fallen into contemplation again, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He said, "As expected of my subordinate god, always so fond of thinking." After speaking, Ares put his hands on his hips and burst into hearty laughter.

However, Ares, the God of War, didn't seem to realize that he himself wasn't particularly fond of using his brain.

Mobius was interrupted by Ares's laughter, and after a moment of stunned, his mouth couldn't help but twitch. He said, "Great God of War, Your Highness Ares!"

"What does the power of combat you speak of look like? What is the connection between war and dance? And when will that god appear?" Mobius prepared to change the subject and asked casually.

Hearing Mobius's questions, Ares paused, then continued, "I don't know either, but I feel a connection with her; she should be awakening soon!"

"But I'll give you a divine position now; otherwise, what if you die?" In Ares's understanding, Daemons and Nymphs were both creatures that easily vanished.

The Daemons and Nymphs who accompanied him often died due to their lifespan, which prevented him from feeling fully satisfied.

When he was born, the death of the Nymph who accompanied him made him feel very uncomfortable; tears would always flow from his eyes, and he hated those tears because they were like a rainy day. They always made war cease!

Mobius felt Ares's sense of urgency, and then a grateful smile appeared on his face. He said, "Thank you, Your Highness Ares."

Upon hearing of a divine position, Mobius clenched his fists tightly; even he couldn't escape the common desire, after all, this was a divine position!

It was the key for him to transform from a mortal into a god!

No one dared to underestimate a god! Although Daemons were called beings closest to gods, they were ultimately not gods, merely servants and reserves of gods!

Divine position! Divine position! Who wouldn't want a divine position?

Without a divine position, what kind of god would he be? Wouldn't he?

Just then, Ares continued to slay the demonic beasts, then he looked at Mobius and said somewhat urgently, "Give me some of your life essence."

Upon hearing this, Mobius did not hesitate for a moment, complied, and then handed a wisp of his life essence to Ares.

Seeing that Mobius didn't hesitate at all, Ares's smile softened even more. After all, everyone wants a capable subordinate who trusts them wholeheartedly. This is completely different from a fanatic.

His fanatics were all fools who only knew how to wage war, and he didn't want to bother with such a group of fools.

Ares's actions did not stop; he transformed Mobius's life essence into divine power, then sprinkled it onto the corrupted land.

The lands corrupted by resentment became clean when they encountered Mobius's divine power, making crackling sounds like hot oil meeting water.

"Did you understand?" Ares looked at Mobius and said, "Did you see how I just did that?"

Mobius said with some uncertainty, "You, you used my divine power to draw out those resentful and residual energies, allowing them to dissolve with the divine power."

"My divine power wore down those resentments, and then the earth returned to normal?" Mobius said uncertainly.

Ares nodded and said, "Excellent, my subordinate god, Mobius, you are indeed very intelligent!"

After speaking, he threw the item in his hand to Mobius.

A black and red bead appeared in Mobius's hand, with several faint white lines on it—no, they should be described as milky white lines.

Mobius instinctively caught the bead, and he found that the elemental energy of heaven and earth around him surged madly into his body.

Ares, the God of War, said, "This is the power of faith I have collected over the years. You know that faith can be converted into divine power."

"The divine power of faith I have stored over the years can be converted into your divine power; you can freely borrow this faith."

"However, don't use too much; if you use too much, you will be twisted by my faith, and I don't want you to become one of my avatars," Ares said, waving his hand.

"After all, those who are corrupted by faith either become gods or become a part of a god."

However, in reality, it was not as simple as Ares said; this bead contained all of his faith from over the years. If other gods saw this bead, their eyes would turn green.

Hearing Ares's words, Mobius was not surprised, as he had already known about such things in his previous life.

It was just that Ares had helped him strengthen this conjecture.

Ares motioned for Mobius to start quickly.

Mobius no longer hesitated, and quickly displayed some divine power in his hand, converting the faith into his own divine power.

However, Mobius did not absorb this divine power into his body; he did not know if anything strange would happen if this divine power entered his body.

So, it was better to directly integrate it into the divine power to expand the scope of its influence.

Looking at Mobius, Ares's face showed a satisfied smile.

Such a subordinate god truly pleased him; he didn't need to worry about anything.

He must protect this subordinate god well; such a subordinate god was enough to become his brain.

Like his father and Metis.

One must know that his father, Zeus, only became the King of Gods with the help of Metis, but later, Metis disappeared, and after Metis disappeared, his father became mad and foolish, casually seeking out goddesses and leaving his children everywhere.

Wouldn't doing so lead to a quicker death? Even he understood that principle!
